Bang! Bang!
Just as Chen Yu and his three little sisters got dressed and were about to have a snowball fight, someone knocked on the front door of the house.
Chen Yike pushed open the door and saw a young girl standing outside, panting and holding two large boxes in her hands.
"Xing Biqi?" Chen Yu was surprised.
"C-Chen Yu." Xing Biqi blushed as she looked at the boxes in her hands. "H-Happy New Year."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to wish you a happy new year."
"Is it a guest?"
Mother Chen asked as she walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Xing Biqi, her eyes glowed. "This girl sure is fresh. Is she your classmate?"
"Mhm."
"What are you waiting for, then? Invite your classmate into the house." Mother Chen hurriedly put down the rag, washed her hands, and warmly invited the girl into the house.
"N-No need, Auntie. I'm just here to wish you a happy new year. I have to go now."
Xing Biqi entered the living room and placed the two boxes of fruits on the floor. She then retreated and said, "I wish you a happy new year."
"Wow!" Chen Sanke ran over, surprised. "White Rabbit Sis!"
"H-Hello, Sanke."
Xing Biqi patted Chen Sanke's head. She then pulled out a peach-flavored candy from her pocket and handed it to Chen Sanke. "Remember to brush your teeth after eating."
Chen Sanke accepted the candy and popped it into her mouth. She then narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Peach Sis."
"I …" Chen Yu felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood in his chest.
"Hurry inside and relax." Chen Yike smiled as she pulled Xing Biqi into the living room. She then closed the door and said, "Don't stand on ceremony."
"Here, young lady. Drink some water."
Mother Chen ran into the living room and poured a cup of hot tea for Xing Biqi. With an unusually kind expression, she asked, "Are you good friends with our Chen Yu?"
"We're classmates," Chen Yu interjected.
"I didn't ask you.
Young lady, speak. "
"W-We're classmates," Xing Biqi said timidly.
"Classmate visiting on the first day of the New Year?" Mother Chen asked with a mysterious expression. "Auntie is being tactful. Are you two dating?"
"!!!" Xing Biqi was shocked.
"Mom." Chen Yike held her forehead. "Do you have any misunderstanding about the word euphemism?"
"I... This... isn't..." Blushing, Xing Biqi stammered, "I... It's just that... Fellow Student Chen Yu has been helping me with my studies. That's why I came to pay you a New Year's visit.
Auntie, please don't misunderstand. "
"Please don't misunderstand."
Chen Erke pulled the corner of Mother Chen's clothes with an unfriendly expression. "She's just here to pay a New Year visit and seduce your son."
Everyone: "…"
Mother Chen was furious. She slapped Chen Erke's butt. "Second Son!
Don't talk nonsense! "
"What is seduction?" Chen Sanke asked.
Covering Chen Sanke's mouth, Mother Chen smiled at Xing Biqi and said, "Miss, don't worry.
We parents are not like other parents, we are very open-minded.
We don't oppose young people falling in love for the first time.
It's fine as long as it doesn't affect my studies. "
"Ah... Auntie!
You've really misunderstood! "Xing Biqi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
However, in the eyes of the "experienced" Mother Chen, Xing Biqi's reaction was no different from a direct admission.
Under Mother Chen and Chen Yike's "forceful tugs," Xing Biqi was dragged to the living room's sofa. Aside from Chen Erke and Chen Yu, everyone in the Chen family warmly welcomed her.
After getting a brief understanding of Xing Biqi's academic performance and personal situation, Father Chen and Mother Chen grew to like this child even more. They even started asking about the progress of their "relationship."
Let alone Xing Biqi, even Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore. Hurriedly pulling the girl to her feet, he headed for the door and said, "Let's go. You two can chat among yourselves."
"Are we having a snowball fight?
I-I'm already dressed! "Chen Sanke hurriedly grabbed Chen Yu's clothes to prevent herself from being left behind.
"Stinky woman..." Chen Erke muttered as she put on her hat and followed after Chen Yu.
"Mom."
After waiting for the four to leave the house, Chen Yike put on her down jacket and looked at Mother Chen in a new light. "I never thought you would be so avant-garde. You don't even care about your brother's puppy love?"
"What's there to care about?"
Waving her hand, Mother Chen leaned back on the sofa and said, "Children have their own blessings. Blindly suppressing them will only have the opposite effect.
Besides, children aren't robots. They also have emotions and desires. Even if they like each other, can we, as elders, be cruel enough to separate them? "
Taking a sip from his teacup, Father Chen nodded and said, "Your mother is right."
"This is the first time I've realized how wise my mother is!" Giving Mother Chen a thumbs up, Chen Yike said, "In that case, when I have a puppy love in high school..."
"I'll break your legs!" Mother Chen's complexion changed abruptly.
Chen Yike: "..."
Bang!
Slamming his teacup on the table, Father Chen said, "I'll break both legs!"
Chen Yike: "..."
…
After leading Xing Biqi into the elevator, Chen Yu scratched his head and asked, "Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year at home?"
"I-I wanted to see you."
Lowering her head, Xing Biqi fiddled with her fingers and said, "Isn't it supposed to be the first day of the New Year to visit the neighbors?"
"We're neighbors?!"
"According to the Global Village, aren't we neighbors?" Xing Biqi said, blinking.
"... Fine, you win."
"Is Big Sister Peach a neighbor?" Raising her head, Chen Sanke asked, "Which floor do you live on?"
"Third Eldest!
Can't you call her Big Sister normally? "
"Aren't those two Big Sisters?" Pointing at Chen Yike and Chen Erke, Chen Erke, who had just entered the room, Chen Sanke said, "I won't be able to tell them apart if there's another Big Sister."
"It's just a title." Bending down, Xing Biqi patted Chen Sanke's head and said, "Just call me whatever you want, Sanke."
"Let's call her Big Sister Vixen, then!" Chen Erke suggested.
"Shut up!" Chen Yike hurriedly covered Chen Erke's mouth and smiled awkwardly. "She didn't mean it that way.
Big Sister, don't mind her. "
"I-It's fine." Xing Biqi nodded. "A child's words carry no harm."
"Big Grape Big Sister, did you see the fireworks yesterday?"
"Fireworks?" Xing Biqi was momentarily stunned. Immediately afterward, she reacted and said, "I saw it. It was the one at midnight, right?"
"That's right!" Chen Sanke nodded happily. "Was it nice?
Big Brother set it off for me. "
"That was the collision of two asteroids!" Frowning, Chen Yike said, "How many times have I told you that your brother isn't that capable?"
"What kind of fireworks were they?" Chen Erke asked in dissatisfaction. "Why didn't you wake me up to see them?"
"I did, but you kept sleeping."
"Actually..." Gently pulling back her hair, Xing Biqi suddenly said mysteriously, "That wasn't fireworks, nor was it the collision of two asteroids."
"Huh?
Then what is it? "Chen Yike asked in confusion.
"Chen Yu, don't you know about Transdimensional?"
"Transdimensional?" Scratching his head in confusion, Chen Yu asked, "What's Transdimensional?"
"It seems none of you know."
After looking around for a moment and making sure there were no outsiders around, Xing Biqi lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else."
"Tsk, you're just trying to be mysterious. We don't want to know." Although Chen Erke said so, her ears stood up straight.
"You have to promise!
You can't tell anyone else! "Xing Biqi said sternly." Otherwise, you'll easily get into trouble!
It'll be troublesome then. "
Chen Yike: "I promise I won't tell anyone!"
Chen Sanke: "Those are the fireworks Big Brother gave me!"
"Especially you, Chen Yu!
Promise you won't tell anyone else. "
"Uu... Okay, I promise."
"I'll tell you, then."
Narrowing her eyes, Xing Biqi lowered her voice and said, "The anomaly that happened in the early hours of New Year's is actually..."
